  Great activation, Lidi! Nice DX. You mentioned the spacing before the 'k'. Personally, I think sending a 'k' causes more confusion than it's worth. Many would disagree. BK works well for 'break' or 'over' during an exchange or qso. When calling cq, my callign is the last thing sent. Cq <contest | activity> N4AAJ. Part of the beauty of our hobby is that there is no one 'right way' to do it :) Definitely agree with you though, if youre gonna use the 'k', throw some extra space in there... 'k'! 73 de N4AAJ

  Nice waterfront area 🌊. Sorry about your umbrella. It matches all your gear, including your shirt. You got N2PPI 🥳! I'm jealous! You also have nice little friendly iguanas 🦎. One day we'll do a P2P.

  Nice work Liddi, I’m going to try and Hunt you in the future on my first built 20 meters Full Wave antenna I just put together today. Hopefully I will get confident enough, I will take it out in the field and start activations myself. Thanks for making the video, helps me with my CW learning journey N3EIE

  Hi! I did not build it but someone that I consider my Elmer did. His words "it is a simple 49:1 line transformer using an FT82-43 torrid from Torrid King. Wrapped with #22 wire. The case was 3D printed from a file on Cults 3D. There are hundreds of plans online. You can use any enclosure you like." Thanks for watching. KQ3Q

  I admire your courage, it’s a breath of fresh air. Before you keep the habit, you need keying using your wrist on a straight key. Should be your whole forearm while your hand lightly grips the knob. More control and less risk of a repetitive strain injury.

  Way to go! Your sending doesn't have to be perfect. Good heavens - I know MINE rarely is. You just have to be able to complete the contact. That's all that counts. It sounds like that's exactly what you did.
